ABACO WARBLERS: A COMPLETE PDF GUIDE
Yesterday I posted a complete guide to Abaco’s 37 warblers. A few people said nice things about it. Two people spotted a mistake (my bad!), now corrected. It has now occurred to me that it might be helpful to reduce the contents to a shorter PDF so as to make the guide more handy – plus you will be able to print it out. If you click the link below, you can save the 1.6 mb ‘booklet’ onto your computer desktop / iPad / tablet / etc. You can email it to your phone and save it there. For an iPhone, you have the option to have a ‘quick check’. I you want to keep it, you can ‘cloud’ it, or save it in various ways on the phone, for example to iBook or Kindle if you have the App. I expect other cellphone types are much the same. I have road-tested the system, and it works! So if one sunny day you suspect you are looking at a Bay-breasted Warbler (highly unlikely, but possible) in that small bush over there… yes look, near the top on the left… no, on the long twig lower down… you can check it out.

And here’s the thing. You have a camera in your hand to record the encounter. And if the little rascal is happily singing away, you can use you phone to record it, using a simple technique I have previously described – check out the link.

Thanks Cindy. I wonder how many of the species are familiar to you where you are – I don’t mean now, while on you travels! I’m enjoying the posts of your trip. RH

Thanks Dina, but I do realise it’s a pretty useless resource outside Bahamas and western US. But I enjoyed putting it together, so that’s a plus! And the birds are pretty, wherever you may be. RH

Well, I hope so Jet… it looks ok but I’m not quite sure who will use it. Probably restricted (1) to Abaconians plus maybe northern Bahamians and Floridians (2) who are interested in birds (3) enough to want a checklist (4) on their computer or phone and (5) are computer savvy or (6) can be bothered to go through the process. So maybe 6 people at most? Ha But it was a challenge to do! RH
